Joanne Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I observed that the kids are quite, um, antsy on Fridays. So I decided to have a morning (we have YMCA activities M-W-F afternoons) be art and science days. Today was our first. We: 1) Listened to and took notes from the cassette tape Masters series - Beethoven. 2) Watched a geological video with "stupid alien teacher guys" as the kids called them. 3) Did Lesson 1 of Considering God's Creation. 4) I printed 2 sets of plate/pangea/era info from enchanted learning. The boys will have to teach the girls their set next Friday. The girls will have to teach the boys their set. It's been a great day! I declare school over for the day. Our local school district has a half day and I need to get my after schoolers anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in IN Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 This is a great idea. We do a "light day" on Friday, but I may rework our schedule and just do Science & Art on Fridays. We need something different for the spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkgumby Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 That sounds like a fantastic idea. There's just something about Fridays, for adults and children alike, that makes them want to lighten up and have more fun. I think I'll plan that in for this fall!

kim in ks Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 WE do all of our school work M- Th. It's great! We can use it if we need to to catch up. but we usually go to lunch w/ grandma, run errands and play w/ cousins. My older kids complained the other day, that they never got Fridays off! :001_smile: kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
